48 mins confidence: 
| lang række ut far stretch Explanation: I can't see what the heading writer has intended either, so this is at best a wild guess - along with 'a long reach', 'reaching far out', 'extended reach', assuming rekke is reach. If rekke is the equally applicable row, 'a long row out', 'long row going out' could be alternatives. |

1 hr confidence:
| lang række ut future plans Explanation: if this is a heading, then it seems to me that they with "long stretch out" is looking into the future like a "fremtidsplan". |

2 hrs confidence:
| lang række ut out of the row Explanation: Also guessing, but it could pertain to a children's play "lang lang rekke", in which one child a time is chosen to leave the row ... I think there is a corresponding English play, but I cannot recall its name ... |

| lang rekke ut the end of a dynasty/ the end of a long string Explanation: I will throw my my hat in the ring to with one more guess: Perhaps this is the last of a long row of CEOs coming with a specific background, perhaps from the Berg family. Until the mid-1970s, Alfred Berg was a family owned business. Following a period as a partner-operated firm, Alfred Berg became a subsidiary of the Volvo Group in the early 1980s. However I have no idea of who their CEOs were. More context is always helpful (time / place) |
